Hi, I\u2019m Amy and welcome to A Healthy Life For Me, I am so happy you\u2019re here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Amy<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I created this site to share my favorite recipes with you\u2014no fuss recipes made with the freshest ingredients.  I also sprinkle in some how-tos about organic gardening as well as some kick butt fitness workouts that you can do at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My recipes are simple enough for the home cook but delicious enough that you will want to make them again and again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can expect to find recipes that are gluten-free, dairy-free, paleo-friendly, refined sugar-free, and soy-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, take a minute to poke around the site. Start by checking out my Recipe Index<\/u> for menu ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014I hope you find something inspiring to make your day a little extra delicious, healthy and fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10 things you may not know about me<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. I am a mother of two sons.\u00a0Both are certified taste testers and critics to the recipe you find here.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. I love margaritas, chips, and salsa.  I know, I know not healthy, but everyone needs a vice.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. I am a CrossFit junkie.  Yes, I am one of those people who joined the cult and can\u2019t stop talking about it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. My favorite vegetable to grow in my garden, are beets.  They are always a sure thing, and who doesn\u2019t like a sure thing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. I use to hate Brussels sprouts, but my husband kept forcing me to make up recipes for him.  I have come up with so many that now they are one of my favorites.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Fall is my favorite time of year.\u00a0The cool nights and changing of the leaves here in the Midwest are always inspiring to me.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Baking is therapy for me.  I love to turn on the T.V and take my time measuring, whipping and baking up cookies, cakes, or bars.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. I was a terrible photographer when I started this blog, but learned quickly if I wanted to succeed here I needed to make my photographs look as good as my food tasted.  Thankfully I know a few amazing photography friends who helped guide me and improve.  Which I am still doing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
